FAQs

Are there age requirements to participate in the run?

For a child to race in the dash they must be in Kindergarten through 5th grade. We encourage all schools to attend. Are your children home schooled? Yes, they can participate too! We want everyone to have a great time!

Are parents allowed to run?

Sorry, for safety reasons we want parents to stay on the sidelines. This is a fun run for kids. We want them to feel empowered and good about running all by themselves. And to help you feel more at ease we will have 60+ volunteers helping around the track and around the safety fair. Most of our volunteers are coming to us from MSSU track team and can’t wait to help your kiddos on the track have a great time running!

What are my transportation/parking options for getting to and from the event?

We are unable to provide any transportation, but parking will be available on Main Street and the surrounding streets of the event.
